But longtime fans of the show may have noticed that The CW’s marketing department found both a tree and a hill that it has used over the years to promote the show. The image was everywhere this past year, as it became a key part of the final season marketing blitz.

The tree in that photo, Schwahn said, isn’t in Wilmington, either. It’s actually right outside his office.

“There’s actually a bush on a huge hill near Warner Bros. studios,” Schwahn said. “If you go to Warner Bros. Studios and look up at the hill where the cemetery is, there’s one tree – more of a bush. They use that in all the graphics now. I had seen it a couple times, and then I saw a “One Tree Hill” poster and I was like – that’s the bush over the studio!”
